GG News Bureau
Lucknow, 30th April. Uttar Pradesh Police apprised on Saturday that more than 45,000 loudspeakers have been removed from various religious places across the state.
Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) in Uttar Pradesh, Prashant Kumar updated, “So far 45,773 loudspeakers have been removed from various religious places across the state while the sound level of 58,861 loudspeakers was reduced and brought down to the level of standard parameters.”
This update comes days after the UP government directed the removal of all illegal loudspeakers from religious places.
Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath has issued guidelines for restricting the sound of loudspeakers at religious places, earlier this month.
“The order to remove illegal loudspeakers from religious places in the state was issued on Saturday. A compliance report (from the districts) in this regard has been sought by April 30,” Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Awanish Awasthi stated.
“The police have been directed to establish conversations with the religious leaders, and ensure the removal of the unauthorised loudspeakers by coordinating with them,” said Awasthi.
On April 13, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena president Raj Thackeray had given a warning to the Maharashtra government and reiterated his demand that loudspeakers from mosques be removed.
Raj Thackeray has asked the state government to act before May 3 failing which the government can face after-effects, he said. Several leaders came out in support of Raj Thackeray while many opposed it.
